The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019, Metallic Spirit by Zara is an aromatic spicy fragrance for men that balances freshness and warmth with a blend of neroli, pepper, and sandalwood. The composition opens with the bright, zesty aroma of neroli, which segues into the sharp bite of pepper before settling into the warm, woody embrace of sandalwood. This interplay of notes creates an impression of both energy and grounding.

How to wear it

Apply Metallic Spirit in light layers — its aromatic and spicy notes project well but can become overpowering with too much. It’s best worn during cooler hours when the warmth from sandalwood is most appreciated.
